Still the best boots out there. Slightly heavier than the Zephyr but just as comfortable and possibly even sturdier. This is my fourth pair of Lowa and frankly, there is no other shoe or boot I'd rather wear. I use them for pretty much anything from walking around town to technical trails in the mountains and in all seasons; even in the harsh Canadian winters, they keep me comfortable in temperatures as low as -20.

Great product. Boots ar light, but durable. I have used them in wet snow conditions and they are keeping moisture out very well. Maybe lacing system could be better with hooks in upper part in situations when speed of putting your shoes on is essential. Other than that I can not imagine any downside.Shipping to LV was fast.Overall - I am very satisfied with product and service.

Excellent boot with great support, well constructed and comfortable. true to size. If these last as long as the previous pair they represent great value for money. Very pleased.had to wait a while for these to become available again but very prompt delivery once they were in stock.5 star ratingMike C

An awesome boot

These boots had come highly recommended to me by some individuals whom I greatly respect. One of the best I have made in regards to boots. They keep my feet dry while walking in shallow streams and work well over any terrain I have thrown at them so far while keeping my feet comfortable.

Excellent boots

This is my second Z8s GTX because I really like these boots. I have one in tan and now this one in dark brown. I have mostly worn them at work in all kinds of weather conditions down to freezing temps. The water proofing is excellent. The support when carrying a load is also great.Personally, I find they need a bit of a break in period but are a lot more comfortable out of the box than some of the other brands. I would highly recommend Lowa boots for professionals and hikers.

Fantastic

Customer service was great. I ordered them with 2 day shipping, summit hut called and let me know that they may not be there in two days and let me know the situation almost immediately. The boots did show up on time after all. And out of the box they are the most comfortable and super light boots I've ever worn for military purpose. We will see how they hold to wear and tear on flat range and field environments yet. But I'm very happy with my purchase.

Great boots

Have only worn them around the house, but they feel like a good fit. Sizing may be slightly smaller than other other boots or shoes, I found this to be a pattern with Hanwag as well. I wear a 7 US with Red Wing boots, 7.5 US with Danner Acadias, 7.5 US with Salomon Quest 4D GTX. I ordered these boots in 8, and it's a perfect size. Boots feel similar in feel with the Salomons.

LOWA Men's Z-8S GTX C - GORE TEX Boot Dark Brown / UK 8 / US 9 / EU 42

Previously owned a pair of Salomon GTX before trying the lowas. Super comfy boot with minimal wear in period. Heaps of room in the toe box for going downhill and great ankle support from the 8” height. Would definitely buy them again. Fantastic, hassle free support from Toms when I needed to exchange to a bigger size.

Lowa Z-8N GTX

I have been looking for an upgrade to my existing boots, I wanted a boot that looks ok to wear in public without looking too military. Good enough to walk hundreds of miles on all terrains and flexible enough to wear as motorbike boots. These bad boys do the job. They look great, are very comfortable, have awesome ankle support when you have a pack on, are waterproof, and have great grip on the ground. They are expensive but after doing my research on the boot I could not find one review where someone had a problem with them. Patrolstore needs to add Klarna or some other means to help spread the costs for us mortals, until then the credit card took the hit.Do it, nut up and buy a pair.... you wont regret it.
